[Quix]

The whole counsel of Scripture includes that in ONE of the many verses about forgiveness . . . as I documented.

I expected you to seize on it.

I find that verse tied to the context.

I still believe the principle of forgiving all, regardless, is the Scriptural picture.

CERTAINLY we should seek repentance with ourselves and everyone.

However, I’ll not allow my heart, mind, spirit to be clouded by unforgiveness, REGARDLESS.

And I certainly won’t risk eternal death and damnation because of it.

You can not and must not take the scripture as a novel to be read over lightly...taking “the jest” and not the entire sum...all the parts have to tie together like a giant puzzle or the view is lopsided and important parts are left out.

In this case it is very clear, A man is to be slow to anger and forgiving of a repentant man a thousand times seven but it is also clear that to forgive sin when their is no repentance is not righteous.
